RE: I had 50k Instagram followers, but I’m switching to Steemit

in #instagram7 years ago

Welcome to SteemIt! I'm a professional online marketer and have been since 2008.

I have literally tried hundreds of different social media platforms over the past 9 years.

Instagram used to be one of my favorites, but I noticed and disliked the same changes you have pointed out.

When I follow someone there, it's because I'm interested in them and not just some of their posts, meaning I want to see ALL of their posts, not just what Instagram THINKS I want to see.

The fact is that Instagram is usually wrong when trying to anticipate my interests. I think the way Facebook and Instagram operate are often directly affected by Zuckerberg's arrogant, narcissistic personality. I have no doubt that the guy micromanages his company and is probably directly involved in even the smallest of decisions.

At any rate, when it comes to SteemIt, the community is absolutely incredible. It's like nothing I've ever seen on any other social media platform. The best part is we NEVER have to worry about one person coming in and dictating to us how the platform will be run, because the community itself is in charge here.

I have no doubt that you will be successful here, and that you will fall in love with the whole idea of SteemIt.

Glad to have you on board!

Amazing comment @contentking You're absolutely right. I love the community and post driven success of the platform vs. advertising schemes and force-fed posts
